There's plenty of Pokemon memes out there, one of my favorites being Milftails. But Slowpoke's breaking news announcements of events long passed makes me laugh so hard. Did you know the drummer for Def Leppard was in a horrible accident and only has one arm? Thanks for the update, Slowpoke.
One of the most popular, it's dropped down on my list due to overuse. It's not used well anymore, and is instead shouted at anything that looks like it might be tipped sideways. Peppy's most overused saying continues to stay that way over ten years later...
While not really mentioned anymore, this is one of the most classic cult internet gaming phenomenons ever - so much so that it made news, had a huge line of spoofs, and even made it's way into other media, the one totally standing out in my mind right now being Foxtrot. It ruled the internet at one point, but sadly has faded into practically nothing...
This one went wild when first discovered in game. This line helped further push Portal for people that were curious why cake could be a lie. Not only was this fairly cryptic, but when people weren't spouting it at random for no reason, they were trying to defy the statement, including making real life versions of the lie of a cake seen at the end of the game.
Could you imagine being at E3 2006 and seeing the fail that the Sony Press Conference was? Love them or hate them, you have to admit it was awkward to hear them try to appeal to gamers with the personality of a rock, and justify a "$599 US dollars" price tag. While the giant crab's "attack its weak spot for massive damage" is a real winner, nothing is more laughable than the outcry of "It's Ridge Racer! Riiiiiidge Racer!" to a nearly silent crowd.
TF2's spy may be cowardly enough to hide and stab you in the back, but he's a classy guy. He wears a suit on the battlefield, smokes fancy cigarettes, has a ballin' accent, and refers to both colleagues and rivals as "gentlemen." While we've seen pictures of four packs of cigs in his mouth with this catch phrase, or reworded to "mentlegen" with a disfigured face, it's a catchy little statement.
We all had those gifts on Christmas that made us shit our pants in happiness, but no one shit harder than this boy when he got his Nintendo 64. This kid screams at the top of his lungs about his new gaming system, and apparently is so happy that his confused little sister cheers along with him. Nothing says thank you on Christmas day like screaming, crying, and beating the shit outta the box your gift is in, all while in your snazzy pajamas.
Captain Douglas J. Falcon is one badass dickhead, and there's nothing you can do about it. When he's not winning races in the F-Zero circuit, he's punching the shit out of people. Normally Cap's helmet being photoshopped in pictures is funny enough, but seeing a .gif file of someone punching the fuck out of someone else with the famous tagline and a helmet shopped in anyway? Never gets old.
Yeah, we all hated Navi while playing through OoT. Navi flew around and shouted at you to tell you normally obvious information, and was normally accompanied with her cries of "Hey! Listen!" The internet has picked up on the humor a bit, but nothing brings back good ol' nostalgic Zelda memories like being around a group of people trying to imitate her.
Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than the "wry" scream. Pronounced "Ree," and not "Rye," it's part of one of the most badass super combos in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, an underrated 2D fighter made by Capcom shortly after the Street Fighter III series. Dio Brando, the game's main villain, not only freezes time, but throws a shitload of knives at you and throws a steamroller on people. What a champ! Letting out his trademark squeal before attacking steamroller and foe, it's been the target of anything, well, that can have a steamroller thrown at. While the game's combo itself is incredibly badass, the scream alone is enough to gain my number 1 spot.
Choo Choo All aboard the internet express! Isnt another good internet jokes Ps3 has no gaems?
